8 Installing PPDs on Client Machines

Once the software is installed, Postscript™ Printer Driver (PPD) installation may be necessary to allow client Macintosh® or PC computers to properly print to the Xerox® DocuColor 12™ copier over the network. Client workstations can be Windows NT®, Windows® 2000, Windows® 95/98, or Macintosh® systems.

The Imation Matchprint Professional Server software includes the latest version of the AdobePS driver. Microsoft® Windows client machines wishing to print to the Imation Matchprint Professional Server automatically install the AdobePS driver when the printer is added via the Windows "Add Printer" dialog.

Macintosh® client machines must install the driver and PPD from either the Imation Matchprint Professional Server CD-ROM or from the Imation server itself. Macintosh® users must first run Stuffit Expander to unstuff the Mac-Doc12-PPD-Installer.bin before launching the Imation PPD and AdobePS driver.

Depending on your client workstation setup, select the appropriate PPD installation from the following:

Windows NT® or Windows 2000® Client PPD Installation

Window® 95/98 Client PPD Installation

Macintosh® Client PPD Installation

Windows NT® or

.1

Windows 2000 Client PPD

 

Two modes of imageable print areas are supported by the Imation Matchprint™ Professional Server system, expanded and normal. On initial setup, clients adding printers will automatically capture the current mode associated with the IMPS system. After the initial setup, if the IMPS server administrator switches the imageable print area, clients will need to delete existing IMPS client printers and add new ones. Adding new printers will reflect the new print area mode.

Steps 1-11 are instructions to add a printer on initial Imation Matchprint™ Professional Server system setup. Steps 12-18 provide instructions for re-adding a printer once the imageable print area has been changed.

1.At the Imation Matchprint™ Professional Server, set up the print spooler where the client machine will print.
